  • Publication number: 20070270429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a function inhibitor of an effector cell comprising a CCR5 antagonist. Since the function inhibitor of an effector cell comprising a CCR5 antagonist inhibits the function of effector cells which play an important role in formation of diseases and the like, it is effective for the prevention and/or treatment of, for example, a transplant rejection (e.g., rejection of a solid organ graft, rejection of islet cell transplantation in diabetes mellitus, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), etc.), an autoimmune disease (e.g., arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, etc.), an allergic disease (e.g., asthma, etc.), an ischemic disease (e.g., ischemia-reperfusion injury, etc.), cancer or a metastatic disease or the like.

  • Patent number: 6889626
    Abstract: A meter for a motor vehicle includes a meter case 4 for protecting components of the meter which are incorporated therein, and a front cover 9 composed of a prism which is a part of a convex lens and provided in front of the meter case 4. A dial plate 5 of the meter has an outer contour in a substantially elliptical shape so that a virtual image of the dial plate as seen through the front cover 9 may look like a substantially perfect circle. Since the virtual image of the dial plate 5 is expanded in a vertical direction due to magnification inherent in the prism 9, the dial plate 5 formed in a substantially elliptical shape will be deformed into a substantially perfect circle in sight.

  • Patent number: 6842292
    Abstract: The light emitted from a warning display unit 16 is passed through a front glass 18 formed at the opening of a dash board 17 and a semi-permeable combiner 12 having a first polarizing plate 12b in this order so that it is guided to a driver's view point I. A second polarizing plate having the same polarizing direction as that of the first polarizing plate 12b is formed on the surface of the front glass 18. In this configuration, the wash-out in the warning display unit, i.e. a light emitting source, arranged behind a combiner can be prevented and visual recognition of the light emitting source can be improved.

  • Patent number: 6731252
    Abstract: A display source unit for a display device in a vehicle is provided, by which the driver is not given a physical or mental oppressive feeling to his or her head upon getting on and off the vehicle. The display source unit 9, which irradiates a light of a display image containing instrument information on a combiner 7 situated in front of an eye point I so that the irradiated light can be seen as a virtual image S from the eye point I, is provided with a cover member 13 consisting of: a front cover body 15 putting an optical element 21 for image magnification thereonto; and a rear cover body 17 hinged to the front cover body 15 with receiving a display device 23 therein. The cover member 13 is folded, thereby the light of the display image displayed on a display surface 23a of the display device 23 is reflected on a reflector 25 disposed in the cover member 13 to the optical element 21, passes through the optical element 21, and goes toward the eye point I after being reflected by the combiner 7.

  • Patent number: 6714125
    Abstract: A vehicle-applied display unit is provided, wherein the image light of an inverted display image emitted from a display device in a dashboard and passed an opening of the dashboard is reflected toward an eye point I by means of a combiner standing from a recess of the dashboard positioned ahead of the eye point I. The combiner is arranged outside the forward sight from the eye point I and on an optical path of a portion, of outer light entering a vehicle-inside from a vehicle-outside, going toward the display device through the opening at least over a whole extent, in a vehicle-width direction, of the portion of the outer light for at least partially enclosing the opening over a front through both sides portions thereof, and a polarizing plate is coated on an inner surface of the combiner.

  • Patent number: 6674578
    Abstract: A display device for a motor vehicle includes an indicator 3 for providing a displayed image, arranged internally in the vehicle; a combiner 5 for reflecting image light of the displayed image toward an eye point I of a driver of the vehicle, a virtual image S of the displayed image which can be visually recognized from the eye point being displayed on the combiner 5; and meter units 9, 9 for displaying a status of the vehicle as a real image, the meter units being located between the combiner and the eye point at a position outside an optical path of the image light of the displayed image. The combiner 5 has a contour which can be visually recognized from the eye point and nearly surrounds the virtual image and a real image of the meter units 9, 9. In such a configuration, a display with a sense of unity between a real image and a virtual image can be realized while avoiding an increase of a dashboard in size and complication thereof in structure.

  • Patent number: 6658317
    Abstract: A contour shape of a desired shape of a workpiece at section along a predetermined axis is divided into machining units. Each of the machining units includes a plurality of inflection points including a machining start point and a machining end point. Machining data at least necessary for performing machining is set for each of the machining units. Arrival times at the inflection points are calculated based on the machining data, and a position of at least one of the workpiece and the tool is calculated for each of the inflection points. For each of the machining units, a rotation angle position of the workpiece corresponding to the arrival time is set as an accumulated count value.
